Recycled order numbers

If “data is a precious thing that will last longer than the system itself” then why or how are order #s recycled? This creates additional paperwork since lab or providers have to print results and fax/scan the order in quickly before the order # is recycled for a different patient, and thus making it unavailable in future for a particular patient when trying to look up values.

    Orders could be sorted by YYY-GDT-Ord number, i.e. 022-365-00991, sorting orders this way would be almost like creating serial numbers. Orders should remain searchable in the system in perpetuity. Additionally it would be beneficial for clinicians to be able to track a patients previous results i.e. a patient that has a BP that is slowly drifting down, it could be a sign of a chronic bleed.
